Donation to Red Cross

The most successful lawyer in town had never made a contribution to the Red Cross. The chairman of the Red Cross, Mr. Wilson, called on the lawyer, hoping to convince him to make a donation.

"You made over $600,000 last year but you haven't given anything back to the community. How do you reconcile that?"

The lawyer sighed, leaned forward & said, "If you only knew... My mother is terminally ill; her medical bills far exceed her income. My brother is a disabled veteran, blind & in a wheelchair. My sister is raising three children alone since her husband died in an auto accident."

Mr. Wilson offered his sympathy, admitting he had no idea there were so many demands on the lawyer's profits.

The lawyer nodded & said, "Exactly...Why should I give to the Red Cross when I don't even give to my own family!"

Focus on BEING.

When I ask people what they want to be & do in their lives, a lot of them respond with what they want to have. May I suggest not to focus on having but to focus on being & doing, as the poem below suggests:

BE in love every day, with what you do;
BE in love everyday, with someone;
BE in love every day, with servicing people;
BE in love with learning, growing and sharing. (Author Unknown)

Any successful person will attest to the importance of placing your focus on being and doing; to love to be at your best is to see with an inner vision & exceed expectations.

Job Opening: Historian. Anyone?

After many years of trying to find steady work I finally got a job as a historian....but...

... I realized there was no future in it...

Ah Beng Did it Again

After completing a jigsaw puzzle he'd been working on for quite some time, Ah Beng proudly shows off the finished puzzle to a friend.

"It took me ONLY 5 MONTHS TO DO IT", Ah Beng brags.

"FIVE MONTHS ? THAT'S TOO LONG", the friend exclaims.

"YOU ARE A FOOL." Ah Beng replies, "SEE THIS BOX, IT IS WRITTEN FOR 4-7 YRS".

Some Say Start Young...

... I call it a head start!

Thirsty? Ge'me some of that, mommy!

Our Greatness...

"As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world ... as in being able to remake ourselves."
- Mahatma Gandhi

Totally agree. My world changed when I changed. I sometimes tend to think that everywhere I go (be it workplace, church, or social gatherings), the problems seems to be the same, because the person (me) is the same. I think I need to put aside my criticism & judgement & be a little open-minded.

I think I need to reprogram my mind (Mental Renewal as in Rom 12:2a) & take steps to challenge old habits of framing my situations & circumstances.

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is..."
Romans 12:2a

My world should change for the better, very soon :)

伤心地铁 - 光良

曲名：伤心地铁
歌手：光良

抛开那盟约
和你四目相接
想必你的眼里
应该隐瞒着
更多的细节
他想必狂野
让你对我坚心拒绝
他会陪你过今夜
他也许就在
这列车的某一节

凭一种 男人的直觉
去承受这份残缺
当缘起和缘灭
我们的过去
已不能重写
我失去了全部的世界
在这伤心的地铁
这麽伤心欲绝
当列车停止在第五街

冬天的纽约
冷的这样直接
像是你的拒绝
它千真万确
让人心淌血
他令你狂野
你们爱得轰轰烈烈
他在等你过今夜
我知道他在
这列车的某一节

凭一种 ah 男人的直觉
去承受这份残缺
当缘起和缘灭
所有(我们)的过去
要如何重写
我独自在陌生的世界
在这伤心的地铁
这麽伤心欲绝
当列车停止在第五街

那一夜
那心里深深的雪 wohhooo..
那男人的直觉
那伤心的地铁
